So Hendrix Played Bass on All Along the Watchtower + eh?

It said Hendrix played a lot of the Bass on that Album
including AATW.

Noel Redding said he was pissed of with Hendrix cause
he would let just anyone wander into the recording sessions
of Electric Ladyland.

He said he went into his Rec booth one time and someone was
in it and they said ,"Who are you"......Redding said,
Well I'm the Bands Bass player.

He said that was it........He left Hendrix after that.

Would be interesting to know for sure what songs Hendrix did
play Bass on. All Along the Watchtower has some amazing Bass.
Especially at the end.
Also some other great Bass on that Album.
I have no doubts that Hendrix could play amazing Bass.

Awhile ago, someone here posted a link to a very informative site dealing with this topic.
Anyone recall that link?
...I do remember a picture of Hendrix playing a Fender bass (upside down, of course) at that site.

Not to piss anyone off-
Redding never floated my boat. You have heard the story how Redding got the bass gig with Hendrix, right?
IMHO, Mitchell & Cox were a lot better...I would think Jack Bruce or Entwistle, Mitchell, & Hendrix woulda been interesting, too.

Jimi was a fine bass player, one of the best, very Motown-style.
He was a very busy bass player, which in retrospect was so good for me to have played behind as it stopped me overplaying, which I did do particularly on several of the
album tracks.

Maybe that was a source of the friction between Noel and Hendrix.
Noel being a frustrated guitarist and Jimi knowing exactly what he wanted from the bass.

'All Along the Watchtower' is a classic example of Hendrix's bass playing. Even being left handed he had no problem picking up a right handed bass - he just had the touch. I think Noel had got pissed off and was across the road in the pub - but the track didn't suffer.
